Tap Water Facts

It's quite unbelievable that the water from a tap can contain so many toxic substances these days. The following are the facts the municipals would rather you didn't know.

U.S. drinking water contains more than 2,100 toxic chemicals that can cause cancer confirms the Ralph Nader Research Group, and many other studies bear this out. Pesticides are present in most glasses of water we drink today. Why?

We you consider that everything we use in industry and agriculture as well as the medications we all use end up in our supply, you can see why water from a tap is so contaminated.

Our municipal treatment plants use out-dated methods still, like disinfecting with chlorine and basic sand bed filtering, and many of the toxins still get through, and as prescriptions are rising by around 12% each year, it can only become worse.

Most of the time we can taste the chlorine, but the other toxins generally have no taste, so we have no warning ourselves as to the dangers of what we are drinking.

Fish in some rivers and streams have been found to have changed sex! This is due to the abnormally high levels of hormones polluting the water.

We are all the time being told that water from a tap is perfectly safe by our suppliers, so does that mean it's ok for us to drink other peoples medications and greatly increase our risk of cancer and other deadly diseases? What nonsense.

It seems, as usual, to stay healthy, we have to do it ourselves, and the most popular way is with a home filtration system. Look for a carbon block type with a multi-stage process and ion exchange and you can be confident that it will remove over 99% of all the toxins.

At the same time you will have great tasting water as it should be, and still retaining the vital minerals like calcium which we need.

It is a sad state of affairs when we risk our health each time we drink, shower or bathe, and now you are aware of what water from a tap contains, you can take action to safeguard you and your family's health and get back your peace of mind.
